Abstract
Description
- The present disclosure relates to aircraft microwave ovens, and more particularly to stirrer assemblies within a microwave oven.
- Microwave ovens can have a cavity plate upon which the food for cooking is placed. In some configurations, rather than set the food for cooking on a rotating plate, instead there can be a reflective stirrer blade in a cavity below the cavity plate. In aircraft, this cavity plate can present design challenges. For example, the cavity must be sealed but an aircraft microwave oven undergoes pressure changes as the cabin pressure changes during a flight. The sealing on the cavity plate can be compromised as cabin pressure changes. Other aircraft-related issues for the sealing of cavity plates include turbulence, which can displace the cavity plate and compromise the seal.
- The conventional techniques have been considered satisfactory for their intended purpose. However, there is an ever present need for improved systems and methods for improved ventilation within an aircraft microwave oven. This disclosure provides a solution for this need.
- A stirrer shaft for a microwave oven includes a shaft body configured to connect between a stirrer motor on a first end of the shaft body, and a set of stirrer blades spaced apart from the stirrer motor. The stirrer body includes a flow passage therethrough for equalizing pressure in a sealed stirrer cavity of the microwave oven.
- The flow passage can include an outlet at a second end of the stirrer motor opposite the first end. The outlet can open in an axial direction defined by an axis of rotation of the shaft body. The flow passage can also include at least one inlet spaced apart from the outlet. The at least one inlet can be closer to the second end than to the first end. Each of the at least one inlets can open in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation.
- A stirrer assembly for a microwave oven can include the stirrer shaft as described above, a stirrer motor connected to a first end of the shaft body, and a set of stirrer blades connected to the stirrer shaft and spaced apart from the stirrer motor.
- A microwave oven can comprise a cooking compartment defined by a plurality of inward facing side walls, an inward facing top wall, and an inward facing bottom wall. The microwave can also include a microwave magnetron mounted within the microwave oven. The microwave can include a cavity plate assembly sealing off a stirrer cavity between the bottom wall and the cavity plate from a main portion of the cooking compartment. The microwave can further include a stirrer assembly as described above.
- The stirrer shaft can extend from an area outside the stirrer cavity in fluid communication with ambient conditions, and into the stirrer cavity. The flow passage can place the stirrer cavity in fluid communication with ambient conditions. The stirrer motor can be positioned outside the stirrer cavity, while the stirrer blades and an outlet of the fluid passage are positioned inside the stirrer cavity.
- These and other features of the systems and methods of the subject disclosure will become more readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the drawings.
- So that those skilled in the art to which the subject disclosure appertains will readily understand how to make and use the devices and methods of the subject disclosure without undue experimentation, embodiments thereof will be described in detail herein below with reference to certain figures, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an embodiment of a microwave oven constructed in accordance with the present disclosure, showing a stirrer assembly; -
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross sectional view of the stirrer assembly ofFig. 1 , showing a ventilation path. - Reference will now be made to the drawings wherein like reference numerals identify similar structural features or aspects of the subject disclosure. For purposes of explanation and illustration, and not limitation, a partial view of an embodiment of a microwave oven in accordance with the disclosure is shown in
Fig. 1 and is designated generally by reference character 100. Other embodiments of systems in accordance with the disclosure, or aspects thereof, are provided inFig. 2 , as will be described. The systems and methods described herein can be used to provide ventilation to a cooking compartment of a microwave oven. - Referring to
Fig. 1 , a microwave oven 100 can comprise acooking compartment 200 defined by a plurality of inward facingside walls top wall 148, and an inward facingbottom wall 122. One of the shown inward facingwalls example wall 112, may be an inward face of a door to the oven 100, so thewall 112 may have an open connection to the remaining walls. The microwave 100 can include a cavity plate assembly 146 (e.g. cavity plate 104 and cavity plate seal 102) sealing off astirrer cavity 152 of thecooking compartment 200. Thestirrer cavity 152 can be defined between thebottom wall 122 and thecavity plate 104, sealed off from a main portion 154 of thecooking compartment 200. The microwave 100 can further include astirrer assembly 170. The microwave 100 can also include amicrowave magnetron 150 mounted above thetop wall 148 and/or themagnetron 150 can be mounted below thebottom wall 122. When themagnetron 150 is mounted below thebottom wall 122, electromagnetic (EM) radiation can be fed into thestirrer cavity 152 throughfeed ports 180 inbottom wall 122 so that the radiation can be randomly deflected bystirrer blades 132 for even cooking. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a similar construction may be present above thetop wall 148 for a top mountedmagnetron 150, though such a construction is not shown in the drawings. - As shown in
Figs. 1-2 , thestirrer assembly 170 for the microwave oven 100 can include thestirrer shaft 134, astirrer motor 138 connected to thefirst end 160 of theshaft body 136, and a set ofstirrer blades 132 connected to thestirrer shaft 136 and spaced apart from thestirrer motor 138. Thestirrer assembly 170 can also includecover 172. - Referring to
Fig. 2 , thestirrer shaft 134 can include ashaft body 136 configured to connect between thestirrer motor 138 on afirst end 160 of theshaft body 136 and a set of stirrer blades (e.g. blades 132) spaced apart from thestirrer motor 138. Thestirrer shaft body 136 can also include aflow passage 162 for equalizing pressure in the sealedstirrer cavity 152 of the microwave oven 100. - The
flow passage 162 can include anoutlet 164 at asecond end 166 of the stirrer motor opposite thefirst end 160. Theoutlet 164 can open in an axial direction defined by an axis of rotation R of theshaft body 136. Theflow passage 162 can also include at least oneinlet 168 spaced apart from theoutlet 164. In embodiments, the at least oneinlet 168 can be closer to thesecond end 166 than to thefirst end 160 of theshaft body 136. Each of the at least oneinlets 168 can open in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation. It should be appreciated that although theinlets 168 are called an "inlets" theoutlet 164 is called "outlet" herein, this is with reference to flow going into thestirrer cavity 152 from ambient to equalize the pressure inside thestirrer cavity 152 when ambient pressure increases. However, when ambient pressure decreases, the flow will be reversed, and the inlet/outlet designations could be reversed, forexample outlet 164 can become an inlet, whileinlets 168 may become outlets. The same can be said foropenings - In embodiments, the
stirrer shaft 134 can extend from an area outside the cooking compartment 100 (e.g. below bottom wall 122) in fluid communication with ambient conditions throughflow passage 162. Thecover 172 can encase as least thefirst end 160 of theshaft body 136. As shown inFig. 2 , the cover can includeopenings flow passage 162 to fluidically connect thestirrer cavity 152 and the ambient conditions for flow between thestirrer cavity 152 and ambient conditions through thestirrer shaft 134. Thus, theflow passage 162 can place thestirrer cavity 152 in fluid communication with ambient conditions, for example for pressure equalization between the main portion 154 of thecooking compartment 200 and thestirrer cavity 152. In embodiments, thestirrer motor 138 can be positioned outside thestirrer cavity 152 while thestirrer blades 132 and theoutlet 164 of thefluid passage 162 are positioned inside thecavity 152. - Conventionally, any pressure increase in the
stirrer cavity 152 was handled by a failing seal around the cavity plate. However, it has been shown that air can leak out of thestirrer cavity 152 through the corners of a seal. However, improved sealing systems, such as cavityplate seal assembly 146cause stirrer cavity 152 to become airtight, increasing the risk of cavity plate displacement. When the main portion 154 of thecooking compartment 200 is airtight from cavityplate seal assembly 146, increasing air pressure within thestirrer cavity 152 may displace thecavity plate 104. Increased air pressure can be caused by changing cabin pressure during flight, or temperature increase within thestirrer cavity 152 during cooking. If thecavity plate 104 becomes dislodged, fluids may leak into thestirrer cavity 152 causing equipment failure. The air pressure within thestirrer compartment 152 therefore needs to be ventilated, while the EM radiation from themagnetron 150 needs to be contained. - The methods and systems of the present disclosure, as described above and shown in the drawings, provide for improved ventilation within an aircraft microwave oven 100, so that air can flow through the
stirrer shaft 134 while still containing the EM radiation. While the apparatus and methods of the subject disclosure have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that changes and/or modifications may be made thereto without departing from the scope of the subject disclosure.
